It’s Valentines Day you know

Last night, Abby excitedly showed me every valentine she had gotten from classmates. After poring over slips of paper from Sami and Ryan and Molly et al I was eating dinner and Abby was enjoying a lollipop. As I ate she approached and stared at me intently. Perhaps she was gauging my jaw as it furiously worked on the cornbread muffin? After a short stare, her statement.

[removing the lollipop deftly…thuch!]

Tomorrow is Valentines Day you know.
[I nodded]
[thuch!…replacing lollipop]

She walked away satisfied.

Oh future in-laws and otherwise close friends of my daughter, may you have a good system for recording dates or an outstanding memory.

Alternatively, as I do, you can let Abby remind you.

  1. If you didn’t take advantage of that subtle (?) little reminder, then you are in BIG TROUBLE!!!

    Well, you didn’t say!!
